✨May has been quiet.
Not in a bad way—just intentionally chill.

Thirty-eight came in soft. No big announcements, no big moves—just gratitude.
Grateful for the peace I’ve created, the woman I’ve become, and how proud that little girl would be of this life.

Soft, grounded, and growing—always.

This season of stillness, softness, and slowness feels good. It doesn’t always have to be a grand celebration to be meaningful.

💛Thank you to everyone who reached out with birthday love—every message, call, and quiet check-in meant a lot.

👩🏽‍🍳Private Chef Mode: Activated!

If “minding my business & drinking my water” was a person…

👩🏽‍🍳This spread was for a small cozy dinner party—the client requested chicken parm, eggplant parm, baked ziti, a fresh garden salad, warm garlic bread, and marinara on the side. The kind of meal that makes people feel right at home. I love putting together comforting menus like this, especially when everyone leaves full and happy! 🍆🍝🥗🍅

👩🏽‍🍳Some tables just hit different—and this was one of them. From concept to ex*****on, I take pride in every setup, making sure it’s not just food but an experience.✨

🧸The Beary Grateful baby shower was a beautiful spread for 115 guests, and moments like these remind me why I love what I do. Quality, presentation, and flavor—all in one.🩵👶🏽

If you’re planning an event in April or May, let’s talk. I’m accepting bookings now! 👩🏽‍🍳💛

👩🏽‍🍳March took me everywhere—from feeding crews at Tyler Perry Studios to covering for a fellow chef, then heading home to East St. Louis to celebrate my mom’s 70th birthday. 😇 Being an only child, I left home after high school and built my life and business miles away. I never imagined what it would feel like to watch my mother grow older from a distance.

This trip reminded me that time keeps moving, whether we slow down to notice or not. Sitting at my grandparents’ table, eating the same breakfast my grandmother used to make, watching my 94-year-old granddad sip his coffee just like always—it brought everything full circle.✨

🌱Growth doesn’t always feel like it, but we’re constantly blooming, shifting, and stepping into the next season. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that every moment, every meal, every gathering matters! That’s why I do what I do. Creating spaces for people to connect, celebrate, and share a table together is personal to me!

💛Now, it’s back to business. Spring and summer dates are filling up, and I’d love to be part of your next special moment. Let’s make it happen.✨

👩🏽‍🍳Hosting a special event but don’t need full-service catering? I offer delivery options so you can enjoy amazing food without the extra staffing. Perfect for baby showers, brunches, and intimate gatherings! I’ll handle the cooking—you take care of the setup. And if you’re looking for the full-service experience, that’s always available too!🧇🍓

👩🏽‍🍳Soft florals, sunshine, and a table full of love. 💐✨ Nothing sets the tone for a beautiful bridal shower like fresh flavors, vibrant colors, and a spread that brings people together. Good food just makes the moment sweeter! 🥂💕

👩🏽‍🍳These aren’t your average cups! ✨

🍌Fried plantain cups are made by twice-frying sweet plantains and shaping them into little vessels, perfect for holding all kinds of goodness! I filled these with guacamole, spicy shrimp, and a drizzle of Sriracha aioli for the perfect bite.

Sweet, crispy, creamy, and a little kick—would you try these?

👩🏽‍🍳Small team, big flavors! This corporate lunch featured Tuscan Grilled Chicken, Citrus Glazed Salmon, and fresh vibrant sides—because even a board meeting deserves a gourmet touch. This is what an elegant drop-off setup looks like when full-service isn’t needed. Simple, seamless, and just as delicious!

✨🖥️Corporate catering doesn’t have to be boring!

👩🏽‍🍳🏡✨Nothing makes a closing day sweeter than good food! I had the pleasure of catering a special delivery for new homeowners celebrating this big milestone at their realtor’s office. Wishing them all the best in their new home!✨🥂

👩🏽‍🍳Some events just mean a little more! 👑💞Catering this Sweet 16 was extra special because her mom and I go way back—we were senior class officers together! Seeing life come full circle and celebrating this milestone with her family was an honor.

✨From perfectly plated bites to full-on dance floor vibes, the night was filled with love, laughter, and great food. Wishing Taylor the sweetest year ahead!💞

👩🏽‍🍳Delivered a feast fit for 12! From my Georgia Honey Lamb Chops to Biscoff Brownies, every bite was made to impress. This spread had something for everyone—Blackened Salmon, Steak Bites, Garlic Butter Redskin Potatoes, and more. 💛✨

👩🏽‍🍳Every time I step into a space like this, I’m reminded that the journey is just as important as the destination. From late nights perfecting flavors to moments like this—serving joy, one plate at a time. I’m beyond grateful for the opportunities, the support, and the love that keeps me going.🫶🏽🥰

👩🏽‍🍳Every event is more than just food—it’s a reflection of my journey, my growth, and my purpose. Catering for Ebony Magazine’s Black in HR event wasn’t just about serving plates, it was about showing up fully in my craft, creating an experience, and watching the vision come to life. I’m grateful for the opportunities that push me, for the trust placed in my hands, and for the moments where I can step back and say, ‘Yeah, I did that.’ More elevation, more intention, more greatness ahead. ✨
